Chabad of Sarasota brought winter fun to Phillippi Estate Park during its Taste of Chanukah festival on Nov. 28.
The annual celebration put on by the Jewish education organization had a number of families exploring the park's many attractions, which this year included an ice slide, face painting, a drawing station and even a massive snow globe for kids to play in. Entertainment for the day had clowns, DJs and a large menorah carved from ice. Locals cooked up latkes and other Jewish foods while Michael's On East provided kosher food as well.
The event ended with a helicopter dropping gelt coins from the sky followed by a menorah lighting.
